Once a colonial luxury, bayberry candles were prized for their rare, clean-burning wax and distinctive scent of evergreen and spice.
Drawn from the native bayberry shrub (Myrica pensylvanica) that thrive along our sandy coastal woods, early settlers gathered its grey berries and rendered a special, clean-burning wax with yields of 15:1!
We keep that tradition alive, hand-dipping each taper set in small batches with genuine bayberry wax, a little beeswax and a cotton wick. The candles carry the scent of the plant's waxy grey berries - earthy, resinous and woodys - perfect for winter holidays or quiet evenings year-round.
Burn one to honor the season's traditions and invite light and luck into your home - as the old saying goes:
“A bayberry candle burned to the socket brings luck to the home and wealth to the pocket.”
